very good points. Reuters is a leftist anti-US outfit. The only way the Euro will supplant the $ is if govt spending here gets out of control (opps may be happening) and the Feds start inflating the currency big time. The only thing saving us, is that Europe is about 20 years further down the road of Socialism.
Even the socialist in Germany is giving huge tax cuts. There are major restructioning going on. It might take a year or two, but I am surtain that growth will pick up.
